THE NITTY GRITTY

HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Well, actually, I think we're all winners in that we've found (hopefully) some new ways to combat the dreaded mosquito. :) I'm totally going to try some of these. Oh, and not to discount the recommendation at all but I have to mention that I've tried Skin So Soft before. My mom was an Avon rep part of the time while I was growing up. She tried it on all of us. To my recollection, it worked on my youngest three siblings but my brother and I seemed to attract the darned mosquitoes even more when we used the Skin So Soft. Go figure, eh?

In any case, the winner of my giveaway, by random draw, is JOY! (who posted about the tobacco leaves) Joy, please email me and I'll get a fun prize out to you shortly!

Thanks to all!! (And feel free to email me with any more tricks if you come across them!)
